Exit......

The grasses are all turning..... Crops turning....... Lots of harvest talk about town...........nervous excitement...........some started slowly...... Lots still not quite rip.......still a bit green......
The colours in this photo were even better in real life as the thin light band is the oats and the sun was shining on it but not the clouds in the background......
Anyway
It all just means my hayfever has got the better of me and turned into a sinus infection..... 
The only way to fix this besides antibiotics is to leave........ 
Good plan I say.......
Goodbye flies, mozzies and the other billion little black bugs coming into the house lights making me sit in the dark everynight........
Catch you later......

Spring where are you?????

So glad you're sharing my excitement about my trip............thanks for all the helpful advice..........me in the city OMG i'm like a fish out of water..............
Some Lucy love arrived in the mail box this week.........i'm naughty as I have a couple to finish from the mail previously............
The chooks are laying so well at the moment............
love it when I have lots of eggs.........
OMG the weather....................the weekend sure did not feel like spring.............where did it go???? I went in search and found some flowers to make me "feel like spring"
some roses are just starting...first one on this young climber but lots of buds nearly ready........
the geraniums are flowering madly..........this one I have now broken a few bits off to spread the brightness around..........
button squash starting to appear..............
yellow gold rush zucchini bursting away too.........maybe eat tomorrow night......
one little sweetbite tomato...........few flowers on other tomatoes too.........
Cedar trees full of flowers and lots of little bush bees buzzing around...........
crimson bottle brush............
love the yellow tips on the ends.........
seaside daisy never disappoints............
a different type of iris to my usuals but it looks great........
Cecile Brunner has the most adorable fragrance...........
And the poor agapanthus have no idea whats going on.....really they are about a month or more early..............heads coming up everywhere..............
just starting to burst open...........
no pic but  I have a chrysanthemum starting to flower also that should flower in May.........
anyway I felt better once I found all these lovely blooms but gee it was a bit chilly...............and since we have cleaned out the fire I was not going to relight it but I did seriously consider it until I thought about doing the big end of season clean out and I saw sense........cool chilly Sunday saw me spend most of the day on the lounge as the hayfever has been knocking me around..........I go for so long then I need a stop day as exhausted.........
Anyway spring will be back tomorrow by the looks of the temps so i'll survive............
whats flowering in your garden this spring????
Catch you later.......
